(1999.) Q. coccinea, Wang. Scarlet Oak. 



The limits of this tree are very uncertain, owing to the confusion 

 that exists in the minds of collectors, regarding it and Q. rubra. In 

 University Park, Toronto, are a few fine trees, but they become more 

 numerous to the west and in the forest along the Niagara River and 

 Lake Brie, it is an abundant tree. More investigation is necessary 

 before we can fix the exact limits of this species. (Macoun.) Vicinity 

 of Toronto. (A. Fowler.) 



(2000.) Q. tinctoria, Bartram. Yellow Oak. 



Q. discolor, Alton, Hort. Kew, III, 358. 

 Q. tinctoria, var. angulosa, Mlchx. Fl. II., 198. 



Q coccinea var. tinctoria. Gray, Man. 454, 1868. Macoun's Cat. No. 1609 

 in part. 



This species seems confined to western Ontario, as no specimens 

 have been seen from any point further east. It is not uncommon at 

 Niagara, and with the red and scarlet oak make uj) much of the forest 

 along Lake Erie and Niagara River. {Macoun.') In woods around 

 London, Ont. (Burgess.) 



(2001.) Q. palustris, Du Roi. Pin Oak. 



Abundant in wet woods below Queenston Heights, and in all low 

 woods westward along Lake Erie and the Detroit River to Windsor, 

 where it is of a very large size on the borders of the forest, and along 

 old fences. (Macoun.) Point Abino, Lake Erie. (David F. Bay.) 

 Roadside at Leamington, Essex Co., Ont. (Burgess.)
